Ⅰ.阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)

第一节(共10小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分)

A

In the US state of Washington, a road called “Interstate 90”

cuts through a wild, mountainous area to reach the city of Seattle.

For the area’s many kinds of animals, the busy highway greatly

limits their movements. Crossing I-90—as the road is called—is a

risky but sometimes necessary act. But soon, animals will have a

safer choice for crossing the road. They will be able to go above

it.

To help the animals, the state is finishing work on its largest-ever wildlife bridge. The 11-metre-tall, 20-metre-wide structure

begins in the forest. It forms two arches above the highway, one

for each direction of traffic. Workers are adding fencing and

plants to help guide the animals across the bridge. Two-metre-thick walls will help block noise from vehicles below.

The I-90 Bridge is part of a growing number of wildlife

crossings across the United States. Some are fences, some are

overland bridges, and some are underpasses. They all aim to keep

drivers and animals away from each other. Collisions between

animals and drivers are rarely deadly to people. But they are often

deadly to wildlife. In Canada’s Banff National Park, studies have

found that wildlife crossings reduce the area’s animal-driver

collisions by 80 per cent.

Most of the wildlife bridges are in western states. But experts

have noted many other areas that have a need for such paths.

Jen Watkins, whose organization has helped campaigns for

animal crossings, says the fund for more crossings is “the

number one barrier”.

Patty Garvey-Darda of the US Forest Service has worked on

the I-90 crossing from the start of the project. She says the $6

million bridge will one day pay for itself because the highway will

not have to be fully or partly closed each time a large animal is

struck. She said, “If you shut down Interstate 90, you shut down

interstate commerce.”

is the purpose of building the bridge over

“Interstate 90”?

A. To reduce human deaths in crash with wildlife.

B. To prevent wildlife from being struck by vehicles.

C. To arouse public awareness of wildlife protection.

D. To provide a safer choice to cross the risky road.

ing to Jen Watkins, what is the biggest challenge in

crossing construction?

A. Finding ways to help guide animals across the bridge.

B. Collecting money to build more wildlife crossings.

C. Locating areas to construct appropriate crossings.

D. Encourage drivers to obey the regulations of traffic.

do the underlined words in Paragraph 5 imply?

A. The bridge will prove to be well worth the high price.

B. Expense for building such bridges will be reduced.

C. The bridge will greatly promote trade and commerce.

D. Lives saved through the bridge are definitely beyond price.

B

If you’re looking at livable cities as inspiration for your

holiday, you’ll miss out on many great tourist destinations.

According to Mercer’s 2018 Quality of Living Survey, Moscow

ranks 167 and Beijing only 119, yet both provide ample visitor

pleasures. Meanwhile high-ranked cities such as Kobe (神户) or

Seattle may be easy places to live in, but offer only passing

interest to tourists. In truth, many of the world’s most livable

cities are a little dull.

The world isn’t rushing to visit Canberra or Montreal. In fact,

none of the world’s 10 most visited cities appear in Mercer’s

top 20. Clearly, considerations that create enjoyable holiday

destinations differ from those that make cities fine places to live

in.

This should be no surprise, since livability lists aren’t

concerned with tourists or even local residents but rather

expats(侨民). Mercer, for example, is a US-based professional

service firm whose lists supply multinationals with human

resources information about where to locate their businesses.

The success of foreign business is influenced by issues such as

ease of travel and communication, personal safety, and access to

public services, says Slagin Parakatil, who oversees Mercer’s

research. In short, Mercer considers whether cities are attractive

to business and investment, and have good schools, hospitals

and housing while such factors seldom influence tourists.

Still, Mercer’s Quality of Living Survey has its uses for

tourists, since it also looks at natural and cultural environments

and recreation. It ranks public transport and infrastructure(基础设施) particularly highly, a consideration shared by the World

Economic Forum in reports on tourism and travel

competitiveness. This includes hotels, rental cars and even ATM

availability, all of which make a destination friendly to expats and

visitors alike.

do we know about livable cities?

A. They hardly offer tourists passing interest.

B. They may not be good tourist destinations.

C. They can arouse the inspiration of visitors.

D. They are usually highly ranked by tourists.

is Mercer more concerned about when ranking

livable cities?

A. Tourist attractions.

B. ATM availability.

C. Business-friendliness.

D. Local residents.

does the writer use Mercer’s Quality of Living Survey?

A. To make his view convincing.

B. To compare those livable cities.

C. To better understand the survey.

D. To support the US-based firm.

C

In her new book, The Smartest Kids in the World, Amanda

Ripley, an investigative journalist, tells the story of Tom, a high

school student from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, who decides to

spend his senior year in Warsaw, Poland. Poland is a surprising

educational success story: in the past decade, the country raised

students’test scores from significantly below average to well

above it. Polish kids have now outscored(超过……分数) American

kids in maths and science, even though Poland spends, on

average, less than half as much on per student as the United

States does. One of the most striking differences between the

high school Tom attended in Gettysburg and the one he ends up

at in Warsaw is that the latter has no football team, or, for that

matter, teams of any kind.

That American high schools waste more time and money on

sports than on maths is an old complaint. This is not a matter of

how any given student who plays sports does in school, but of

the culture and its priorities. This December, when the latest

Programme for International Student Assessment(PISA) results

are announced, it’s safe to predict that American high school

students will once again display their limited skills in maths and

reading, outscored not just by students in Poland but also by

students in places like Korea, Belgium, the Netherlands, Finland,

Singapore, and Japan. Meanwhile, they will have played some

very exciting football games, which will have been breathlessly

written up in their hometown papers.

Why does this situation continue? Well, for one thing, kids

like it. And for another, according to Ripley, parents seem to like

the arrangement, too. She describes a tour she took of a school

in Washington D.C., which costs thirty thousand dollars a year.

The tour leader—a mother with three children in the school—was

asked about the school’s flaws(瑕疵). When she said that the

maths programme was weak, none of the parents taking the tour

reacted. When she said that the football programme was weak,

the parents suddenly became concerned. “Really?” one of

them asked worriedly, “What do you mean?”

One of the ironies(讽刺) of the situation is that sports reveal

what is possible. American kids’performance on the field shows

just how well they can do when expectations are high. It’s too

bad that their test scores show the same thing.

reason why Tom decides to spend his senior year in

Poland is that .

are evident differences between the two countries

kids are better at learning

plans to improve his scores

are not supported at schools in Gettysburg

ing to Paragraph 2, we know that .

time is spent on sports in Japanese schools

much importance is placed on sports in American high

schools

an high schools complain about sports time

plays a very important role in America

underlined sentence in the last paragraph means .

an students’academic performance worries their

parents a lot

expectations push up American students’academic

performance

/doc/,cking practice

contributes to American students’average performance

expectations result in American students’poor PISA

performance

is the main purpose of this article?

push public attention to a weakness in American school

tradition.

appeal to American schools to learn from the Polish

model.

compare Polish schools with those in America.

explain what is the matter with American schools and

provide solutions.

第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

While you are travelling abroad, cultural mistakes are more

serious than linguistic mistakes, which can lead to serious

misunderstanding and even ill-feeling between individuals. 11

Touching someone

12In Mediterranean countries, if you don’t touch

someone’s arm when talking to them or if you don’t greet

them with kisses or a warm hug, you’ll be considered cold. But

don’t backslap (拍背) someone who isn’t a family member or

a good friend in Korea, or you’ll make them uncomfortable. In

Thailand, the head is considered sacred—never even pat a child

on the head.

Talking over dinner

In some countries, like China, Japan and some African

nations, the food is the thing, so don’t start chatting about your

day’s adventures while everyone else is digging into dinner.

13It’s not because your group is unfriendly, but because

mealtimes are for eating, not talking.

Removing your shoes or not

Take off your shoes when arriving at the door of a London

dinner party or the hostess will find you uncivilized. But fail to

remove your shoes before entering a home in Asia, Hawaii, or the

Pacific Islands and you’ll be considered disrespectful. So, if you

see a row of shoes at the door, start undoing your laces. 14 Once

you are on the ground of a different country, remain highly

sensitive to native behaviour. 15And don’t feel offended if

something seems offensive—like queue-jumping. After all, this is

a global village, and we are all very different.

al space varies as you travel the globe.

/doc/,ns

removing shoes impolite at home.

consider

be completely surprised by anything.

linguistic mistake means that someone is not fully

expressing his idea.

out for the following cultural mistakes and try to

avoid them.

not, keep the shoes on.

’ll likely be met with silence.

It was my first time visiting the United States. Before 36.(leave)

for Washington D.C., I downloaded some introductions about

some tourist 37. (attract) in the city. Therefore, I knew something

about this city before the trip. A lot of things happened during

my trip to Washington D.C. However, 38. impressed me most is

the International Spy Museum, which I visited on the 39. (three)

day of the trip.

In my spare time, I often watched movies about spies with

my parents because I was 40.(extreme) interested in spies. I

acquired knowledge of that after I read the descriptions

in the museum. I learned that spies usually hid important letters

in an umbrella, in a shoe, or even in a pair of ordinary 42. (glass).

When they thought they were probably found out, they could

have their appearances 43.(change) in a few minutes. They put

on fake hair, eyes or teeth. If they had an emergency, they even

changed a smaller pair of shoes to change their walking styles in

order not to 44.(recognize).

Washington D.C.

I will remember this trip forever.

Li Hua 第二节:读后续写(满分25分)

阅读下面短文, 根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

After study for hours, I went outside and up to the roof

nearby for a break and watched people swimming in the sea. It

was a sunny day—a blue, cloudless sky over a calm sea. But then,

as I looked in the distance, I discovered a series of three or four

big waves heading towards the shore. I’d seen these mini-tsunamis(小型海啸) many times before. They were heading at

high speed in the direction of the swimming area. Most people

knew to look out for them, but from the screams that started

coming from the beach, I could tell someone was in trouble.

Without thinking, I ran down into the street, holding my

bodyboard(俯伏冲浪板)

on the way, and shouted at a stranger to call the

coastguard(海岸警卫队). My neighbour Tom had heard the

screaming as well and was also outside with his bodyboard, so

together we rushed to the steps that led down to the sea.

Once we got closer, we discovered the waves had pulled a

boy and a girl into the open sea. I knew that the nearest boat

would take at least 30 minutes to reach us. I wasn’t used to this

sort of emergency—I’d never been trained as a lifeguard—but

I didn’t think twice about trying to save them. I suppose in a

way I wanted to impress everyone; at 19, a deal like that can seem

like a good opportunity to show off.

Tom and I dived into the water and it took us 10 minutes to

get to them. When we finally reached them, they were almost

lifeless with only their heads coming in and out of the water. We

could tell they were still alive from their small breaths but it was

clear that they wouldn’t have been able to stay there much

longer. I held the boy and pulled him over my board. Tom then

moved the girl onto his board.

1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

参考答案

Ⅰ.第一节

A

【文章大意】本文反映“人与自然”话题,主要介绍了美国华盛顿州在90号州际

公路上方为野生动物建造过路桥梁,从而来减少动物与车辆之间的碰撞事故。

1.B细节理解题。根据第三段的“They all aim to keep drivers

and animals away from each other. Collisions between animals

and drivers are rarely deadly to people. But they are often deadly

to wildlife.”可知动物的过路通道主要是为了防止野生动物被车辆撞到。A项与文中“人类事实上不太会在与动物的撞击中丧生”矛盾;C项错是因为该工程的目的并不是教育全体民众保护动物;D项“为穿越危险道路提供一个较安全的选择”范围太大。

2.B细节理解题。根据第四段的“Jen Watkins, whose

organization has helped campaigns for animal crossings, says the

fund for more crossings is ‘the number one barrier’.”可知主要的挑战是筹集更多的钱来建造更多的野生动物过路通道。

3.A推理判断题。根据最后一段“She says the $6 million bridge

will one day pay for itself because the highway will not have to

be fully or partly closed each time a large animal is struck. She

said, ‘If you shut down Interstate 90, you shut down interstate

commerce.’”可知有了野生动物过路通道后,公路就不需要因为动物碰撞事件而关闭,从而州际的贸易就不会受到影响,所以在不久的将来,野生动物过路通道会“物有所值”。C项中“促进经济”和原文中“不影响经济”意义还是有所不同。B项和D项并没有在文中提及。

B

【文章大意】文章指出,如果你把宜居城市作为度假地点,你会错过很多非常棒的

旅游目的地。根据美世公司2018年生活质量调查发现,美世公司在给宜居城市排名时更关心这座城市是否对商业和投资有吸引力,是否有良好的学校、医院和住房等利于商业发展的条件,而这些因素很少会对游客有影响。文章同时指出美世的生活质量调查对游客还是有用的,因为它还涵盖了自然和文化环境以及娱乐活动。

4.B推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“If you’re looking at

livable cities as inspiration for your holiday, you’ll miss out on

many great tourist destinations.”可知如果你把宜居城市作为度假地点,你会错过很多很棒的旅游景点。即可推测宜居城市可能并不是好的旅游景点,故选B。

5.C细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“In short, Mercer

considers whether cities are attractive to business and

investment, and have good schools, hospitals and housing while

such factors seldom influence tourists.”可知美世公司在给城市排名时更关心这座城市是否对商业和投资有吸引力,是否有良好的学校、医院和住房等利于商业发展的条件。故选C。

6.A推理判断题。根据第四段第一、二句“Still, Mercer’s

Quality of Living Survey has its uses for tourists, since it also looks

at natural and cultural environments and recreation. It ranks

public transport and infrastructure(基础设施) particularly highly,

a consideration shared by the World Economic Forum in reports

on tourism and travel competitiveness.”可知美世公司生活质量调查对公共交通和基础设施尤为看重,世界经济论坛在关于旅游业和旅游竞争力的报告中也考虑了这两点。由此可知作者使用美世公司生活质量调查的目的是增强作者提出的“美世公司生活

质量调查对游客也有用”的观点的说服力。故选A。

C

【文章大意】本文论述了美国的高中教育重视体育而忽视文化课的弊端。

7.C推理判断题。根据第一段“Poland is a surprising

educational success story: in the past decade, the country raised

students’test scores from significantly below average to well

above it.”可知,波兰的教育很成功,国家提高了学生的成绩,故推知汤姆想提高分数,所以才去波兰上学,故选C。

8.B细节理解题。根据第二段“That American high schools

waste more time and money on sports than on maths is an old

complaint.”可知美国高中花费更多的钱和时间在运动上,故选B。

9.D句意理解题。分析最后两句“American kids’performance

on the field shows just how well they can do when expectations

are high. It’s too bad that their test scores show the same thing.”可知美国在运动上对学生期望高,所以孩子在运动上的表现就好,相反,在测试分数上期望较低,导致学生的表现不好。故选D。

10.A主旨大意题。本文通篇都在讲美国高中教育重视体能运动而忽视学术教育,

以此来提醒大家要认识到教育存在的弊端,故选A。

第二节【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了不同文化当中的不同习俗

和礼仪,了解这些习俗和礼仪有助于我们避免在与外国友人交流时出现文化方面的误解。

11.E本文是“总—分—总”的结构,而空格处所在段落是文章的总起段。空格处应是要引出对下文三种不同的文化误解的介绍。E项“Look out for the following cultural mistakes and try to avoid

them.”意为“当心以下这些文化误解并尽力避免它们”,能够引起下文。故选E。

12.A根据本段的小标题“Touching someone”以及下文介绍的不同国家在肢体接触方面有不同的习俗可知,空格处应当总领全段。A项“当你环球旅游时,你会发现各地对私人空间的定义是不同的”能够

总领该段。故选A。

13.G根据空格前一句可知,在上述这些国家,吃饭的时候要专心。当别人吃饭时,

你不要聊起你白天的经历。G项“你很有可能会面临沉默”紧密衔接上文。故选G。

14.F根据本段小标题“Removing your shoes or not”可知,该段讨论的是“要不要脱鞋”的问题。空格处应与空格前一句“So, if you

see a row of shoes at the door, start undoing your laces.”之间为对比关系。F项“如果不是这样,那就穿上鞋子”符合语境。故选F。

15.C该段为总结段。空格处应为具有总结性质的句子。空格后一句是说如果一些事情看起来是具有冒犯性的,但是要入乡随俗,不要感觉被冒犯了,并举插队一例进行说明。C项“不要对任何事情感到诧异”符合语境且引出下句。故选C。

Ⅱ.【文章大意】作者在本文中分享了去年夏天在医院里做志愿者时的经历。

Ⅳ.第一节One possible version:

Dear Mr and Mrs Peter,

Hello! How time flies! I have already returned to China for

nearly two months. But it is still wonderful for me to recall the

pleasant experience during the two-week America Summer

Camp in the US.

Firstly, I want to express my gratitude to both of you for your

considerate arrangement, which made it convenient and

comfortable for me to live, study and travel in the US.

Furthermore, I have learned a lot, not just of the English

language but also of your diverse culture. What impresses me

most is your kindness and humour.

Hardly can any word express my appreciation for your

kindness and help.

I do faithfully hope you can pay a visit to China soon.

Yours,

Li Hua 第二节One possible version:

We discussed pushing them back to the shore, but we were

too far out. We had to wait, trying to keep them on the

bodyboards. Patting their faces to wake them up, we

continuously told them to be strong. After what seemed a

century, I felt extremely exhausted while swimming hard to keep

myself afloat. Casting a look at Tom, I could tell he was also

apparently worn out. Looking at the vast sea, I felt a sense of fear

surging through my whole body. Salt stinging my eyes, I could

hardly tell how long I could hold on. But I still shouted in my head:

focus. In sheer desperation, I finally caught sight of some boats

with lifeguards on them heading towards us in the distance.

Thank you, Lord. Quite soon, I felt strong arms pull me out of the

sea onto the board.

That night, word came from the hospital that the two kids

were in good condition. Sighing in relief, I couldn’t stop

thinking about the whole event. I knew they would have died if

they had been in the sea for any longer. Obviously I had done a

big deal which is surely a good opportunity to show off. I had

expected to experience some sort of sense of well-being or

greatness, but none of that came. Rather than feel like a hero, I

believe anyone who could swim would have done the same thing.
